1:1 วิวรณ์ของพระเยซูคริสต์ซึ่งพระเจ้าได้ทรงประทานแก่พระองค์ เพื่อชี้แจงให้ผู้รับใช้ทั้งหลายของพระองค์รู้ถึงสิ่งที่จะต้องอุบัติขึ้นในไม่ช้า และพระองค์ได้ทรงใช้ทูตสวรรค์ของพระองค์ไปสำแดงแก่ยอห์นผู้รับใช้ของพระองค์
The Revelation of Christ to John
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
1:4 ยอห์นเรียนมายังคริสตจักรทั้งเจ็ดที่อยู่ในแคว้นเอเชีย ขอให้ท่านทั้งหลายจงได้รับพระคุณและสันติสุขจากพระองค์ผู้ทรงเป็นอยู่เดี๋ยวนี้ และผู้ทรงเป็นอยู่ในกาลก่อน และผู้จะเสด็จมานั้น และจากพระวิญญาณทั้งเจ็ดที่อยู่หน้าพระที่นั่งของพระองค์
To Seven Churches in the Province of Asia
1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1:7 ดูเถิด พระองค์จะเสด็จมาในเมฆ และนัยน์ตาทุกดวงและคนเหล่านั้นที่ได้แทงพระองค์จะเห็นพระองค์ และมนุษย์ทุกชาติทั่วโลกจะร่ำไห้เพราะพระองค์ จงเป็นไปอย่างนั้น เอเมน
Salutation to the Churches
1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
1:19 จงเขียนเหตุการณ์ซึ่งเจ้าได้เห็น และเหตุการณ์ที่กำลังเป็นอยู่ขณะนี้ กับทั้งเหตุการณ์ซึ่งจะเกิดขึ้นในภายหน้าด้วย
John to Write of Future Events
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
